Honeysuckle will help you tread safely whilst remaining true to yourself and helping you distinguish the truth. Wild honeysuckle, a binding plant with an iron grip, is a smothering plant controlling and containing the growth of it's neighbouring plants, all disguised beneath pretty delicate flowers and a honey sweet scent. For generations, honeysuckle has been the magical iron fist in the velvet glove, the controlling power behind the silent, seemingly sweet and innocent influence used to stifle the intentions of another. Yet for all it's prettiness and sweet fragrance, honeysuckle is a formidable power for control and influence, giving its user an iron grip over it's target, whilst allowing them ambiguity and maintaining the innocent exterior. A plant for hidden works, for secret intentions when it's best to operate in the dark. Much used in fidelity and love workings and to contain errant lovers. Strengthens the mind and memory. Balancing to the right and left brain. Awakens the crown and brow chakras, bringing psychic awareness. Induces prophetic dreams and assists one to let go of the past.
